Sorry about giving you flack about rushing over Indiana Jones. ;)

i shall not mourn the decline of happy meals nor superhero movies.

Eggs Benedict McMuffin at McDonald's?! I also like the Burger King "save the chicken, eat a Whopper" for Chicken Run, because that is the opposite of the Chik-Fil-A ads with the cow. I am not sure if the fast food places promote movies and shows at every restaurant or how fast they can do it, like nowadays they might be able set it up at limited locations for a target audience. Because of AI.

It's always interesting to see past predictions that came true.

Profit is not bad, it is the fee for the reseller to get the item from wherever its been buried to whomever it is supposed to be with. That costs time and gas and energy.

I’ve recently had a resurgence in collecting vintage PC parts. Mainly due to how I felt during that time and the nostalgia factor for me. Collecting isn’t bad in the slightest. Neither is feeling nostalgic for better times. Especially since nowadays the world is so bad.

video game's played a big part of my life as a kid in the 80s & 90's. i did grew up playing with he-man & the transformers.. i did have a few gobots back then.

I've often been quite annoyed by charity store and thrift stores having become more expensive, and having essentially betrayed the people they were supposed to cater to; the impoverished. The raising of their prices, and the people who caused it (not just the store and it's workers), seem to have had some sort of moral failing, even if it's a little hard to put into words.

For awhile I collected old computers, buying all of the old 8 bit systems I wanted when I was an adolescent. But I realized in time that (a) they were absurdly expensive considering (b) a lot of them were failing -- capacitors, mainly, and then there was (c) they took up a lot of space. And I'd find myself booting one of those systems every few weeks to futz around for 15 minutes then getting bored. I can emulate all of those systems, and that gets me 98% of the way there. The other 2% of running original hardware wasn't worth the cost. Nostalgia often involves confusing an object for who you were or what your circumstances were at a certain time in your life, and this is also through a weird gauzy soft-focus lens of the past, when maybe some of those things brought you some comfort when other things were really horrible -- like, you feel warmth toward them but the warmth you feel is confused. I am kind of crotchety about how many of my memories are polluted by malls, dead retail chains, commercials, cheap cynical plastic stuff, diabetes-inducing cereals, low-rent, low imagination cartoons, and so on.

At retrogamingcons you can see mainly people aged 35-47 so with at least retro games I think we have reached a peak, there is no major transfer to the younger generation of this interest cause all of their stuff is digital. Also let's not forget a bigger question, older generation actually had apartments and houses where they could put all the crap they bought, as the housing market in EU/US gets worse and worse we may actually see a decrease in collecting hoarding as this was something that began with the economical overflow of the boomer generation who had too much money and too much space. Thanks for a interesting channel, keep up the good work.

The Turn A is the most unique hero Gundam machine of any Gundam series. And there are a lot of hero Gundam machines. It is pretty polarizing for many fans, but I love it. I'm really hoping I can get the 1/100 model kit of it since it will stand out nicely on my shelf.

Good Video J

Thrift store merchandising must be an interesting job

Is Nostophobia one of those fleeting new words, or does it have older history from literature or popular history? If it does not, naming it that might repel potential readers. Good video though.

Why are you showing the entire opening to zeta, whole talking about turn A

Physical collections are the best!

I still have my Taco Bell Batman cup from 1989. Not a blockbuster (and forgotten for a reason), but I remember McDonald's heavily promoting Mac and Me back when it first came out. One of few movies where McDonald's is featured IN the movie.

As someone born in mid-1997, I'm presumably not the youngest person to remember video rental stores, even though most of what I do remember is of Blockbuster. I honestly don't ever remember seeing a Hollywood Video where I lived in southeastern New York (but not technically in New York City), and only learned of its existence in late 2012. Two years after its closure. The nearest Blockbuster location to ourselves closed in April of 2011, with the last item we purchased from it being a pre-viewed copy of the film "Once" (2007). Today, this former location is occupied by a pet supplies store. But even for the year after that particular physical store's closure, I continued to rent games through their e-commerce until the same time of year in 2012. I do still own a decent collection of physical media today, with some films actually being ex-rentals or reproduction copies from Blockbuster. Though we own relatively few in the way of "Collector's editions" of films overall. But funny enough at 2:35, while it was first released on home video between two tapes in the United States, in other markets-such as Australia, it was strangely released entirely on one.

I love this!! And I love the idea of a video podcast!!

Good Video j

The Blockbuster will never die as such, it left its descendants, to continue with its legacy, the Blockbuster lasted many years but its legacy will never die 😊

One that you missed that I fondly remember was in 1988 when Pizza Hut had 'The Land Before Time' puppets. Don't know if it counts as a blockbuster but it was really popular at the time. My sisters and I pretty much had all of them; except Petrie.

They can take my physical media when they pry it from my cold dead fingers..

Metal Warriors on SNES... between 700 to 1000$ cad on ebay... Yea, I love nostalgia and still have my SNES from 1991... And I got myself Metal Warriors as a repro cartridge for 20$ And I enjoy playing it from time to time on my good old SNES. That's my way of enjoying my personal nostalgia.

Well since the algorithm has such a hard time narrowing me down which I confuse intentionally I guess I’ll answer to it here this time so that it doesn’t question me again lol never collected anything never had a thing for nostalgia didn’t shop hated it useless stuff in exchange for my hard work I’m gonna be dead one day I can’t picture throwing my life down a drain why would I put stuff ahead of me says nobody ever what a time we live in dumb bells without weight maybe a new way to fly

Santa Clause: The Movie (1985) had a McDonalds tie-in, though not a summer movie or a blockbuster. Not a very good movie, but as a child in the '80s I remember this being on every commercial break. I knew it would be a cold day in hell the day my parents would take me. th-cam.com/video/TrUm7XrHBFo/w-d-xo.html

i don't remember SeaTac mall, but I grew up near Seatac and I LOVE 80s small footage

The 1989 Lego pirate ship was my dream come true!

My fav back in the day was a UK company Hong Kong Legends who did a lot of the classic kung fu movies

My brother in Christ how could you skip the first Pokémon movie? That was the single biggest fast food tie in in history and it also had a scandal when kids choked on the poke balls.

I love the content on both your channels. Especially these videos about retro gaming. My grandma owned an original NES. I played alot of 8 bit games like Metriod, Zelda, and Mario.

Syd Mead was way ahead of his time, his illustrations were and still are phenomenal

Honestly one of the best resources for physical media are thrift stores. All the classic dvds get cycled through there regularly and there's usually a good amount of blurays as well. Only painful part is finding the perfect movie only to discover it's been scratched to oblivion 😂😭

Really interesting content but you're sighing alot and sound unenthused ... kind of ruins it

I remember seeing that Tacobell Godzilla ad on television just thought it was a strange design for that iconic character. As far as my fast-food toy keeping goes, I kept a Rapidash from Pokemon the First Movie. It still works luckily. My little daughter has a Peach toy from that animated Super Mario Bros film and a toy of Luca from Pixar' Luca so the saga of film toys still continues. I try to not over do it though because I feel bad most of the items are plastic. I hope companies will bring back the genuine glasses it just more eco and appears more valuable.

Get you a region free blu ray and check out arrow

I buy blu ray and DVD because I own it and it won't be taken down

I wasn't born until 1997, so the vast majority of these I don't have personal memory of. Though there is a remnant of the McDonald's 1998 promotional campaign for Mulan in my parents' bedroom for some reason.

Well, the Burger King tie ins with Disney were interesting. It started because the Mcdonalds Dick Tracey promo didn’t go well for McDonalds. Also McDonalds was giving Disney a hard time. So from Beauty and the Beast to the Oliver and Company re release in 1997, Disney partnered with Burger King. In 1997, McDonald’s promised Disney they’d be easier to work with, promoting Disney to go back to McDonald’s

Nice piece! Enjoyed the broad overview & great use/editing of clips. Subbed.

The original Star Wars was a big hit

I remember when the first Batman movie came out with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson back in 1989 they had Batman items everywhere that movie was big back in that time period

McDonald's Exorcist Happy Meal. Nobody was surprised when the Linda Blair action figures with spinning heads came off and choked several children to death.

Great video. Some notes--Don't forget the star trek movie happy meal if that counts. 2. Goonies did have a tie in. Godfathers pizza had goonies glasses. There is an ad on youtube for them. 3. You missed an american tail books and christmas ornaments at mcdonalds. 4. Pizza hut had the care bear movie glasses. 5. Great muppet caper had mcdonalds glasses also.

Syd Mead is a perfect merge of Erte and Heavy Metal magazine.

Not exactly a blockbuster but in 1997 McDonalds had a series of 4 plastic plates for Disney's Hercules movie. I still have the Pegasus one

Physical media lives on & will never die!!! While, I'm not really a streamer, it has the right to exist, but definitely should not be the only option. Hell, I'd argue that physical media has the edge over streaming, as those who choose to only stream are denied the option to view certain films & tv series, due to rights issues & other issues. Whereas, many of those same films & series, that were released on some physical format, can usually be found somewhere online.
